Had 156 cows and 27 bulls. The packer market was the same as the last three weeks. Demand and supply has been steady, and competition for limited supply has been strong.

The calf market on bigger steers was stronger with lighter calves holding their own. Middleweights were a little weaker, but the overall market is in a holding pattern at a high level never experienced in history.

Compared to last week: The market was a little weaker this week. Better quality classes of calves in all weight classes sold steady to $3 lower. Plainer quality classes sold $2 to $4 lower. Overall market still very good, particularly on the No. 1 classes.
